May 9, 2013 softball4b	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Softball Jersey Info Needed I agree with Ron, Arnie puts out some good looking unis.
May 3, 2013 softball4b	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: The Rock balls It has been a while, but it is like Nascar, turm left, turn left, turn left, pit.
May 3, 2013 softball4b	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: The Rock balls Webbie, don't apologize to PattyMac, he turned you like a Merry go round. Just be glad he hit it out instead of at you. Equally impressive as their hitting is their speed. I thought we had a fast outfield. Sounds to me like we have the makings of a good grudge race around the bases between Ed, Tom, you and three of their guys. To make it interesting, we could have me and audieh in the anchor position for each team. Anchor being the appropriate word in my case.

April 30, 2013 softball4b	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How can SSUSA possibly reclassify an established Major+ team I don't have a dog in this fight. Dave does not rate teams, that is done by George and ???. Dave is not always responsible for everything that is posted from SSUSA, but he is the individual that facilitates the passing of the information. On the surface, if the Fangrabbers were moved from Plus to Major then their roster had to have radically changed. They finished 3rd in Vegas at Worlds at Major+. NCI finsihed 2nd in Majors and was told REPEATEDLY that they had to move to Plus. NCI could have stayed at Major, but could have no more than 3 players from their previous roster of that year or any previous year. If it is true, that there are 7 players on their current roster that were classified as Major+ last year then it is not passing the smell test.
April 30, 2013 softball4b	Topic: Bats Discussion: GSC Bat approved for Senior Softball IMO - there are a number of positives to this bat already mentioned, the most impressive is the fact, you can't alter this bat to make it hotter. If you try to roll it, you will crack the barrell end, no place for the expansion, one piece bat. If you drill it and lathe it, you cannot cover up the hole, you can't glue composite to composite. You might be able to put weight in the handle, but why. I think the most fun will be watching all of the other companies trying to match the concept. They will eventually catch up, but until then, it is going to be like the swap meet on Sunday morning. Just crazy.

April 30, 2013 softball4b	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Vegas Spring 2013 Congrats to the great competition this weekend. It is just outstanding to still be able to play a sport with and against individuals whom you respect and enjoy their company. Kudos to the officals, umpires and staff at BLD. They made our experience even better. Super Kudos to the fans...it was fun to have Webbie's prior team, The Desperados, cheering him on as he was hitting bombs. Especially appreciative of the wives and girlfriends, what they endure to support their significant others is beyond the call of duty. They have got your back, even if it is extremely hairy. Rockin Reno Here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

April 16, 2013 softball4b	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Championships, Vegas I received a call from a player on Demolition's team that a text went out that due to some travel and health issues they would be unable to field a team for the remainder of the year.

April 8, 2013 softball4b	Topic: Bats Discussion: Tuff Shield Geez....obviously the tuff sleeve is not designed to fix or repair broken bats..a little humor apparently does not go a long way. :-)
April 8, 2013 softball4b	Topic: Bats Discussion: Tuff Shield Well this tread got Hijacked.....Facts about the Tuff Sleeve...they weigh between 2.1 and 2.4 oz. If someone did not tell you that, I don't know if you could tell it weighed that much. We used it this weekend on some broken bats, unbelievably they remained broken. We got 36 swings from a partially cracked Ultra Red and 2 swings from a completely cracked 60% around Reebok. We probably have about 500 swings on this tuff sleeve. I don’t know if it truly adds to the life of the bats but what does it hurt. We old guys spend a heckuva lot more money that $12 on crap we don’t use. As I tell my boys, always use protection when you can and when you can’t…just walk away.
April 5, 2013 softball4b	Topic: Bats Discussion: The "P413" is nearly ready I hope everyone is having a good day and getting ready for a great weeknd. There is always a backstory, but here are the facts. Glowing compliments or scathing criticism is somewhat premature until any product reaches the market. I will not speak for Wood, but GSC and Steve have been trying to get this bat to the market for 2 years. They were at Phoenix in 2011 with his "marketing team" and comments were made that the bat would be out in the spring. There have been numerous instances in 2012 were similar comments were made indicating the bat would be available within a month. Combined with the elusive address for the factory in SC it created a healthy amount of skepticism on this board regarding the probabilty the bat would come to fruition. I do not know one way or another the answer to that question. I believe that all parties involved in this string are passoniate regarding their positons. Wood has never been known to mince words and when we were teammates we did not always play nice with eachother. I have known Steve for about 20 years, I speak with Steve and I have hit the bat. IF the bat is approved and stamped then it will be a gamechanger, until then it is meassage board fodder. June is less than 60 days away.
April 4, 2013 softball4b	Topic: Bats Discussion: The "P413" is nearly ready GSC...the video I saw and google distance indicates that there were a couple hit around 380. If the bat I hit is eventually approved and stamped, it will be a gamechanger. I have heard, that if bats are not approved and on the shelf by June, the associations will not approved them for use in the National Tourneys of the same calendar year. Either way June is just around the corner.
April 1, 2013 softball4b	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: NEW COMBAT DIRTY No spidering...is that a word...that I have seen in the 4 different bats we have hit.
April 1, 2013 softball4b	Topic: Bats Discussion: Tuff Shield Tuff Sleeve is 11.95. I used this in a couple of videos. Worth the investment if it saves the life of your game bat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFUV6lGGyLc
April 1, 2013 softball4b	Topic: Bats Discussion: Monsta Z-Bra I hit the Monster Fossil over the weekend. The bat had about 50 swings on it and did well. I cannot speak to the durability. The bat flexed and the ball jumped fairly well.It was a 28oz EL, the weight was not as end loaded as either the Reebok or the Dirty. The sound the bat made was similar to broken glass for obvious reasons. For me it flexed a little more than the reebok and a lot less than the Dirty. IMO, The Dirty and Reebok both will out distance the Fossil, but overall I would not hesitate purchasing the bat based on its initial performance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LOCP0rig_s
